I just did a fresh install of Windows 10 and I only have just the drivers from the site installed into the OS, nothing else.
I have the latest Realtek drivers installed Version 6.0.1.8158.
I noticed in the System Logs this Event ID 1000 related to Realtek.

Since I just installed Win10 I haven't done much with it. I did check in the 'Control Panel' - 'Sound' - 'Check system sounds', and I played a few and I heard sound ok through my speakers.
I just find this disturbing on a motherboard that has been around as long as this, that there's this kind of a error, for whatever may be going on.
This error always appears on a system restart.
Are the Realtek drivers being used by this motherboard, just Vanilla/Stock Realtek drivers? If so I guess I could try grabbing some newer version directly from Realtek and see if it helps?
Thanks for looking...
